I recently inherited my grandfather's typewriter that he inherited from his father (circa 1940). And Id like to put it to good use. My wife challenged me to make a project. Now Im getting my wheels turning with a new project to type and ship letters custom made with 280 chars and some other personal touches.
The very different idea that came to my mind is to electro-mechanically wire up the keys, and hook it up to an LLM. You type something, then it types back. Like Tom Riddle's diary.
The advice or the reasearch in this article seems obvious to me - but I find it doesn’t resonate with many people. Basically, “you want to make friends or meet people, go do the things you like to do with other people.”
I have a number of acquaintances who that fall into the lonely and like-to-complain about it category, but never put the work in to making friends. As someone who has had to make a new set of friends at a late age, it’s work. And can be exhausting at times. But the effort is well worth it.
I think something is wrong with the css on the page. Nothing is styled. I’m on mobile so can not inspect the network, but I imagine the styles are not being served or used properly.
Working fine for me in Chrome, Safari mobile. What device you are using, can you please tag me a screenshot on X https://x.com/@vikashrathee to show what it looks like to you and on which country?
Maybe it’s just the way I use Reddit, but I still find it very informative and engaging. I subscribe to communities I can’t find elsewhere and the small niche communities there are fantastic. For instance, in r/peloton which I follow heavily, a number of pros post there and engage with their fans.
I stay far away from the front page, even my own. I use an rss reader for all the subs and when I want to comment I login into old.reddit.
You can find it toward the bottom. And yes, the link is copied to the clipboard. Not sure if it was fixed after posting, but there was def a broken link.
I write occasionally for my own pleasure and enjoyment.
